| Location: The site is located southeast of Gaziantep and the district of Nizip; 1.2 km south of Gurcay (Girlavik) Village. |
| Geography and Environment: The site lies on the Holocene Period terrace of the west bank of Euphrates. The present sections suggest a cultural deposit of 1 Ğ 1.5 m for this site that lies across Tiladir Tepe. It is a 420x150 m settlement; covering an area of 6.3 hectares; probably with only one phase. The cultural deposit is severely damaged since 1989; when it was first discovered; due to taking away sand and gravel for the construction of Hancagiz Dam. |
| Destruction Details: The natural view of the quarry which the settlement is located is completely vanished and the topography of the field has been changed. There is a possibility of the site is flooded by the dam reservoir. The exact location of the site can not be found today [TAYEx 17.8.2001]. |
